In an article entitled ' Why 'safety in law' may fail the innocent' published on The Guardian 'Justice on Trial' website on Thursday, 11th February, Michael Naughton, director of the Innocence Network UK,  suggests that the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), the independent public body set up to investigate possible miscarriages of justice in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, is failing in its role as a meaningful post-appeal review body.  Dr Naughton uses the example of Neil Hurley, whose case was taken on by the University of Bristol Innocence Project in 2005, to demonstrate that the CCRC's remit, which is not to " consider innocence or guilt, but whether there is new evidence or argument that may cast doubt on the safety of an original decision"  results in it almost inevitably failing innocent victims of wrongful conviction.  Dr Naughton's article comes in response to the recent claim by David Jessel, a Commissioner at the CCRC, that "innocence project students are being encouraged to see the CCRC as the enemy of justice rather than its champion".
